What a coincidence. My Tuesday Edition WW had a very similar theme. Don't know if you saw that one or not.

Lovely fish. I dream of someday having my own koi pond in my own garden. In the meantime I live vicariously through others. Thanks for stopping by cyberbones.

Personally I think you should have made it longer. I love the sound of water :o) Those fish reminded me of what it's like at meal time in the T home.

Lovely pond and fountain, but I'm not sure even throwing in food could make Michael Phelps swim any better or faster!

Beautiful koi and pond, Pamela.

I got all excited when I saw your title, I thought I'd find a photo of Michael Phelps. *wink* Clever title.

Beside being Olympic swimmers, they would win the gold at an eating contest as well!!

Pam,

My mother built a gold fish pond that looked almost exactly like that. At one point, we had two small kittens eying the fish as they fed....

Hi Pamela, this is almost as good as a Texas pig race! Thank you.
I hope your WW was happy, thank you for visiting mine.
The lady at the bar was thinking one bike when and where she left it. Now there are oodles of bikes and she has been drinking wine. I hope she can find hers (and is able to ride it home).

That's quite a little frenzy! The sound of the bubbling water made me want to curl up and take a nap.

Don't you feed those fish? They look starved;-). I love the sound of the water. You have a beautiful pond and it probably doesn't smell as bad as ours.

An Old Cold Spot

Image
My brother Mike emailed me this photo last night.  He said this was a goodbye salute that he snapped today in his garage where this old freezer has been chugging away since 1988.  That was the year our mama decided she was tired of bending over and digging through it.  Besides, she no longer needed the capacity and hadn't for several years. Mike and my sister-in-law  spent the next 25 years "digging" through this old freezer.  My sis-in-law was very good at keeping it and the cupboards stocked.  The two of them kept promising each other that "It is going to die soon, so we will just keep it until that day." Twenty-five years may seem like a very long life for a freezer.  It is MUCH older than that. Sears only sold Coldspot through 1976.  I thought that my parent's purchased this freezer in the sixties.  My brother said he put the serial number 'on-line' and it matched a 1953 manufacturing date.   Here is a close up of...

Apparitions in my Garden

Karmyn is the host of Fun Monday this week with a subject that is near and dear to her heart. Not to mention her knees and fingers. But I mentioned them anyway. The subject? --- What's Growing In Your Garden. As soon as I signed up I grabbed my camera and headed out the back door. Alyssum, lady's mantle, gaillardia, Jupiter beard, and a bunch of other stuff I can't remember is blooming in this photo. We didn't put as many annuals in this year so I miss all the yellows and reds that we often enjoy. But, something else showed up in that surprised me. Can it be that my yard is haunted? Cheeky little ghost! A shot from the deck near the hammock shows off some ornamental grass, petunias, pond plants ... and that bold apparitio...

Bird Voyeur

The sweet little digital camera that the hubby purchased (after I dropped our old one) has encouraged me to do a little more walking. Last week I took it with me when I walked up the "creek" path, which doubles for joggers and bikers as well. I've seen beavers, mink, deer, birds, birds, birds, and once the tail end of a bear run running away through the brush. Of course, without a camera. Now I carry it often. This time I was watching the Belted King Fisher performing an acrobatic display and chattering at the ducks and geese in his fishing territory. I was zooming in on him in a tree across the water when I spotted what I thought was a huge wasp or hornet nest very high in the tree. (Thanks to Susan for bringing up bee's today.) The heavy binoculars were at home, so I continued to try to see it through my camera. Then, a weird movement caught my eye. What I thought was a giant paper wasp nest was really a Great Blue Heron sleeping on one leg with his head ben...
